Marvin Musquin hard earned 6th place Toronto SX

Red Bull/KTM Factory rider Marvin Musquin fought to a hard earned 6th place at Rogers Stadium in front of the Canadian crowd. Toronto marked Musquin’s last race in the Supercross class before he returns to California to begin training for his return to the West Supercross Lites class. In his heat race, he got off to a decent start and was able to finish 6th to qualify to the main event.

In the main event Musquin got off to a mid-pack start and quickly moved past a few riders to cross the first lap in 6th place. A few mistakes in the early part of the race dropped him to 9th at the halfway point. Near the final laps he began to pick up the pace and moved up to 7th. On the final lap he closed in on the 6th place ride of Kyle Chisholm. With half a lap left he was able to secure the pass and take home 6th place for the night.

Marvin Musquin and KTM celebrate his second MX2 World Championship title

When Marvin Musquin started winning races at the beginning of 2009, he was relatively unknown, but by Sunday when he secured his second consecutive MX2 title riding in Lierop, Netherlands, KTM’s French racer enjoyed the status of one of the most talented motocross riders in the business and a worthy world champion.
Musquin secured the title in the first moto at Lierop just two weeks after his factory teammate Tony Cairoli rode his KTM 350 SX-F to his title victory in the MX1 class, leaving the Austrian manufacturer with a stunning clean sweep of the world championship MX1 and MX2 titles. Together with teammate Jeffrey Herlings, who also won two GPs in his first competition season, the KTM MX2 duo have been major players in the MX2 competition.
